Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mystification is a strategy used by social actors to maintain a certain image or perception in the eyes of their audience. It involves creating a sense of mystery or awe to elevate the actor's status or authority, thereby generating social distance (A), preventing questioning of their performance (B), and creating a sense of awe (C).
